Taurus Introduces 22TUC Threaded Barrel Option

The 22TUC from Taurus USA continues to deliver on the concept of "better to have a gun," now available with a threaded barrel option for those looking to personalize their setup. This extremely lightweight .22 LR micro-compact pistol, made in the USA, remains an ideal choice for everyday carry, combining simplicity, reliability, and ease of use on a platform that can be carried effortlessly.

Weighing just 10 ounces, the 22TUC Threaded Barrel is built for maximum concealability and convenience. Its tip-up barrel design makes loading straightforward and eliminates the need to rack a slide— an especially useful feature for a wide range of shooters.

The double-action trigger, similar to that of a defensive revolver, delivers a consistent pull with dependable ignition for rimfire ammunition, while remaining smooth throughout its travel.

The addition of a threaded barrel offers a new dimension to the platform, giving shooters the option for suppressed shooting while maintaining the same familiar design and handling. A fixed front sight and 9+1 capacity keep the 22TUC Threaded Barrel simple, practical and easy to use.

"The 22TUC was built to be simple, reliable, and easy to carry," said Michael Marotte, Marketing Director. "The addition of a threaded barrel gives customers more flexibility while keeping everything they already value about the platform."

Key Features:

Lightweight, adaptable, and easy to operate, the 22TUC remains a dependable micro-compact pistol designed to be with you at all times—now with a threaded barrel option for added personalization.
